RADFORD, VA. -- Vaita Guillaume of Campbell University is tied for third place after Thursday's first round of the NCAA Men's Golf Virginia Tech Regional at the Pete Dye River Course.

The junior from Papeete, Tahiti shot a one-under-par 71 on the 7685-yard layout. His round included five birdies and nine pars. Teammate Matt Moot, who also received an individual berth to the regional, is tied for 14th place at two-over 74 heading into Friday's second round of the 54-hole event. The senior from Johnstown, Pa., played the front nine even par and was two-over on the back side.

Kyle Scott of Georgia Tech leads the field at four-under-par 68, two strokes ahead of Oklahoma's Abraham Ancer (70). Only six golfers broke par on Thursday.

Guillaume and Moot were two of 10 individuals chosen along with 13 teams competing in the regional. The low five teams and the low individual not on those teams from each of the six regional championships will advance to the NCAA finals, May 31-June 5 at Karsten Creek in Stillwater, Okla.

Georgia Tech leads the team standings at one-over 289, followed by Duke (295), Kent State (296), Oklahoma (296) and Coastal Carolina (299).

Bentgrass tees, fairways and greens, strategically-placed Dye-trademark pot bunkers and breathtaking river vistas from all 18 holes highlight the links design. The layout winds along 2.5 miles of the scenic and historic New River with eight holes directly affected by its presence.

The par threes face north, south, east and west. The remaining 14 holes require a mixture of shots, as seven play left-to-right and the other seven play right-to-left. The par fives on each side head in opposite directions, as do the two longest par fours. For the NCAA Regional, the Pete Dye River Course will play to par-72, 7685 yards.
